Edward's Confession

Alex's car enters the Pavilion yard, the car stops at the edge of the Pavilion yard, Alex turns off the engine of his car.

Astrid and Edward got out of the car, and the two of them walked towards the terrace of the Pavilion.

Shortly after, Alex also got out of the car and walked towards the terrace of the Pavilion .

Astrid and Edward entered the Pavilion, followed by Alex, and sat on the living room couch of the Pavilion .

"Now, Papah can tell you why Papah came to meet Zahara at his house." Astrid said, looking seriously at her Papa's face.

"Yes, Papah deliberately came to meet Zahara, to ask about your sister's whereabouts." Said Edward, giving his confession to Astrid.

"My sister?" astrid asked, looking at the astonished look on Edward's face.

"What does Papah mean, that picture of the baby Zahara was carrying, he's my brother?" astrid said, asking Edward.

"Yes, He's your brother, Papah's flesh and blood, He was born out of Papah and Zahara's illicit relationship." Said Edward.

"So, Zahara cheated on Papah, and her husband Gerard didn't know, if Zahara got pregnant, and gave birth to his son Papah ? Is that?" Astrid said, looking seriously at Edward's face.

Alex just sits quietly on his couch, he listens to the conversation between Astrid and Edward, Alex does not want to interfere in the affairs of both .

"Yes." Yeah." Said Edward.

"During this time, Papah always remembered Papah's son, Papah was afraid, Zahara threw Papah's son away, or put him in a mental hospital." Reveal Edward.

"Therefore, after Papah was released, Papah intended to find Papah's son, and asked Zahara directly, Papah wanted to make sure, where Papah's son was." Edward explained to Astrid.

"Lantas, Zahara said, where is Papah's son with him ?" astrid asked, looking seriously at Edward's face.

"Yes, Zahara finally confessed, that the boy had been living with her all this time, and she was grown now." Said Edward.

"Day with Zahara?!" Astrid was shocked.

"Yes, Son. Zahara took care of him, Gerard did not know, if the child was not his son, but Papah's son." Edward told Astrid.

"What does Papah mean Papah's son with Zahara is Melani?!" Astrid asked.

Astrid could immediately guess, that her Papah with Zahara was Melani, because, in the photo He saw, the baby in Zahara's arms was a woman, and Astrid knew, Zahara only had one daughter, Zahara, that's Melani .

"Yes, Son. She's Melani. Papah gave her the name Melani, and Zahara kept the name Papah ." Edwards .

Astrid was silent, for a moment, He seemed to be thinking about something, Edward looked at Astrid's face, He felt guilty seeing Astrid speechless after hearing her explanation .

"Sorry Papah, Papah didn't mean to keep your brother a secret." Said Edward .

"What's wrong Pah. I get it, Papah can't explain it to me, because Papah was in prison, and I was a kid, Papah didn't have a chance to tell you about I had a stepbrother." Astrid's.

"Yes, you're right. His intention, once Papah knows Melani's whereabouts, Papah will come clean to you, and tell you everything." Edward said, looking closely at Astrid's face sitting in front of him with Alex.

"And it turns out I already knew about the baby from the photo I found in Papah's briefcase." Astrid.

"Yes, son." Edwards .

"Aren't you angry, or hate my son?" ask Edward .

"No. Why am I angry or hate Papah ? I'm happy, because I have a sister, even though she was born from the womb of my enemy!" Astrid said, looking seriously at her Papah's face .

"But Pah, is that right, Gerard doesn't know anything about Melani?" ask Astrid.

"According to Zahara's confession, when he confessed before Melani, that he had been lying to Gerard, and Gerard knew him that Melani was his son, his own flesh and blood." Reveal Edward.

"What if Gerard finally finds out about Melani? What if Gerard found out, Melani was Papah's son?" Astrid asked her Papa.

"If Gerard finds out later, I'll make sure Melani's life is threatened, Gerard will definitely try to get rid of and expel Melani from her house!" Astrid's Persistent.

"Gerard hates Papah so much, He must also hate Melani, especially if he is offended because Zahara has lied to him for years about Melani." Astrid explained to Edward .

"Yes, you're right, that's what Papah was worried about, so Papah intended to see Melani again and explain everything" Edward said.

"Father wants Melani to stay with us, before Gerard finds out about whose son Melani really is." Edward said, explaining seriously to Astrid .

"Hm...Then, in order to prevent bad things, we need to get to Melani as soon as possible, and explain everything, and convince Melani to come with us." Said Astrid .

"Yes, Son. But how? Papah loi, when Melani found out about Papah, she got angry with Zahara and went inside the house leaving Zahara and Papah." Edwards .

"The father was worried, Melani was sad, then desperate and disappointed, then desperate to do bad things." Edwards .

"Don't worry, I'll watch her, I'll see Melani." Said Astrid .

"How is it?" ask Edward.

"I will sneak into Zahara's house and meet Melani in silence, unbeknownst to Zahara and Gerard." Astrid.

"You must be careful if you enter Gerard's house, don't let anyone see you." Said Alex, remind Astrid .

"Yes, I'll keep an eye on the situation of his house first, I'll see from the cctv camera we installed inside Gerard's house" Astrid said .

"If the situation is safe, then I'll sneak into his house." Astrid explained .

"Yes, what matters is your heart son." Edward said, reminding Astrid.

"Yes, Pah." Anguk Astrid .

"Lex, later, as long as I sneak in and see Melani inside Gerard's house, can you keep an eye on me from the cctv camera ? " said Astrid.

"If there's anything suspicious, or, if there's anyone in the house, tell me quickly, let me avoid it." Astrid continued.

"Yes, I'll keep an eye on you from the cctv camera" Alex told Astrid .

"Well, I'll find a good time to see Melani. And I have to do it right away, before Gerard knows who Melani really is." Astrid.

"Yes, son." Said Edward .

"Thank you son, you want to understand, and can accept Melani's presence as Papah's son as well ." Said Edward, looking seriously at Astrid's face .

"Yes, Pah. Now, we must quickly take Melani away, before her life is threatened." Astrid's Speech.

"Yes." Yeah." Nod Edward.

"Yes, already, now Papah rest in the room, let me discuss everything with Alex." Astrid.

"Yes, son." Answer Edward.

Edward then moved from his seat, he then stepped away leaving Alex and Astrid.

"Antoni hasn't come home yet, Lex ?" ask Astrid.

"Yes, maybe it's still at work" Alex replied.

"It's easy, Antoni is good, and Gerard's men don't look for him, I'm worried about Antoni." Said Astrid .

"He was stubborn, refused I told him to go home, and still chose to keep working" Astrid said .

"Yes, let's wait for Antoni to come home, hopefully, he's fine." Said Alex, staring fixedly at Astrid's face .

"Yes, Lex. " Now Astrid .

Astrid kept quiet, He was still thinking about Antoni, he was worried, because Antoni had not yet returned from work.

"I'll go home first, Trid." Said Alex.

"Oh, yeah Lex. Thank you, yeah." Astrid.

"Yes." Yeah." Nod Alex.

"I borrowed your car, yes, tomorrow I'll drive you here again." Said Alex.

"Yes, take it, Lex. It's nothing." Said Astrid .

"Yes." Yeah." Nod Alex .

Alex then moved from his seat, Astrid also stood up, Alex then walked out of the Pavilion by following Astrid .

Astrid drives Alex to her car, and Alex looks at her.

"Greet your Papah, please announce I'm home." Said Alex.

"Yes, I'll say Papah." Answer Astrid .

Alex opens the door and immediately gets in his car, Astrid standing next to the car, he sees Alex running his car.

The car walked away leaving the Pavilion, then, Astrid turned around, and stepped towards the terrace of the Pavilion.

Just as her phone rang, Astrid stopped her steps, standing before the entrance of the Pavilion.

Astrid quickly picks up the phone from inside her pants pocket, She sees Antoni's name on her phone screen, Astrid quickly receives the phone call .

"Yes, what's up Antoni?" Astrid said, asking on the phone .

"Help me Trid, Help Me, I'm wounded and pursued." Antoni said, from across the phone.

The sound of Antoni's voice panicking and anxious, Astrid was shocked to hear Antoni asking for help through his phone, Astrid's heart was beating fast and pounding, there was anxiety in Astrid .
